Abstract excerpt
The Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is characterized by accumulation of lipids within the late endosome/lysosome (LE/LY) compartment as a result of dysfunctions of the NPC1 or NPC2 proteins and an altered distribution and/or functioning of proteins involved in the regulation of membrane dynamics. In our previous report we isolated membranes of the LE/LY compartment from NPC L1 skin fibroblasts with a mutation...
